Hey Nintoman, Maybe a silly point but can you hear the drive actually spinning, When you power up, Does it accept and spin when you offer a disc into the console. If All else fails you could go to using HDD.

Can I ask what guide you used as Your sys check still shows you at 4.3. and you have a few stubs in places, different to where i would expect to see them. I'm no expert but I have modded many units, following maui's guide and the system menu always finishes with vers 4.1, 60,70 222,223, stubs? and no 224, just an observation, we are all still learning.

Hey Gramps, yeah i can hear the disk spinning but it says: unable to read disk with a big (?)

But to install the homebrew channel, i used a guide from another website because at that time i wasn't a member of WiiHacks

I only found out about it AFTER getting the HBC :(

p.s.
the Wii was already on 4.3 when i had bought it

p.s.s.
I can't give you the link of the guide because its againt the rules but the name is:
complete softmod guide and you can find it by searching on google

If you can hear the disc spinning, It maybe that you have a version that is fitted with the GC2-D3-2 Drive chip. You can not mod these to play from backup discs. If you mod these units they will accept all the mods. you can install everything ( Neogamma 9 -46 ) my pref: but the unit just throws a blue screen with an error. I'm working on one at the moment. I have advised my pal to go with Hard drive & CFG loader. or you can use SD card but you can only get a couple of the smaller wbfs files on it, Have a look here http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...d-any-wii.html
if you use this you can remod your unit. read it through a couple of times before you start, then you can download only the files you require, make sure to read it and get your region files. i'm in UK so I always downgrade to 4.1E
good luck. and ENJOY!
